Heeb Issue #19 : The Whole MegillahThe Wasted Issue
Artist Justin Lieberman
Image by Justin Lieberman Text by Maxwell WilliamsIn turning The Simpsons’ Krusty the Clown (née Herschel Krustofski) into a golem, dripping obscenely in a bukkake of resin, New York-based sculptor Justin Lieberman hasn’t quite created a monster, but a fitting tribute to one of TV’s greatest Jews. The self-explanatory piece, Krusty Kast with Polymeliac Limb and Vestigial Tail (2008), was featured in the group show “Heroes and Villains” at Marc Jancou’s downtown gallery and will be part of Lieberman’s solo show at Zach Feuer Gallery (LFL) in January.

Re: Krusty the Creamed – I think we should stage a protest. A crucifix in urine is one thing, but when artists start defiling The Simpsons, well, they’ve gone too far. http://jeremykerman.blogspot.com/
